Hi everyone - thank you again for all your good wishes. This means a lot to me.
Home again after a marathon opshoppery - haul includes: two (two!) gucci sweaters in my size, one black one blue. Some tailored winter wool trousers in black. All in good nick. Am sorted this winter and probably next. A rather beautiful carnival glass ashtray which I will use as a housekeys dumpspot. Some nice costume jewellery - a brass chain necklace of thin ceramic plaques hand painted with autumn leaves, a brooch made from a small turtle shell (sans turtle) with I think gold fittings and a couple of rock crystal necklaces that I am going to repurpose at some point in the future. I do like Reservoir for opshoppery, and Essendon is stupendous - I had no idea the opshops were so good there. Definitely worth a trip out to that part of town. Fitzroy & Collingwood and Thornbury were all a bit disappointing.SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Niiicely done!! So glad you found some winners!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
hugs That is an awesome haul. 😊
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Nice find! Very jelly of the sweaters and trousers.
Fitzroy through to even Preston these days has gentrified to the point that the op shops aren’t worth it. Essendon is much more of a hidden gem that way, hipsters never think of it! Reservoir is still scungey enough but I think it’s basically the next Preston
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months ago
All too true. The hipster-proof fence that used to run along Bell St has well and truly vanished now.

I am feeling quite lost and down with recent work developments. This is my first “real” job and it’s quite hurtful how little senior management values me (and everyone else). Have been unable to sleep well recently with ruminations re: future prospects, the whole negotiating new role, and now… leaving this employer. They literally don’t give a fuck and are dispensing with good staff just to maintain this power of “no we won’t give anyone a raise, doesn’t matter what”. We’re paid significantly below average for our roles and it fucking sucks. Our brand means there is a horde of new applicants just waiting, and everyone is viewed as dispensable. Idk I just want to rant about it. First time looking to leave a long term role too 😞
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Most senior management anywhere are sociopaths. They aren’t worth your hurt feelings, and I can assure you they certainly aren’t losing sleep.
I’ve been through a number of job losses. Over time you will learn to take it less personally knowing that management are fucked everywhere.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
So true
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I am bummed out on your behalf too. That sounds like such a disappointing turn of events. Sadly, companies like that will always exist, even in the fabled Nordic countries, to churn people through.
I hope you are able to quell any feelings of “is this the best I could get for my first real job” and instead see it as a stepping stone you can look back on as some kind of formative experience… I appreciate that it’s hard to secure permanent jobs in some sectors but from everything you’ve mentioned it sounds like if you’re not concerned about needing a perm job for mortgages/family, then it might be best to cut your losses and go somewhere you’re more appreciated.
Is there a mentor or anyone in the industry you could speak to for advice?
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Having been through something similar recently- get out soon, for your own sake. It won’t get better, and if they write you off as ‘difficult’ for not playing along it may get worse. Start looking around while you try to care a bit less.
Also, exercise is great for clearing your head, reducing stress levels, and making it easier to sleep.
Take care. There are better places out there.
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I know exactly how you feel. It’s like being completely blindsided by what they really think about you as a person.
Corporate is full of people who are there to enrich themselves at any cost, and will fuck you over at the drop of a hat.
I’m sorry you’re hurt, but try to see it as a learning experience. Give them what they pay you for and not a minute more.
And if you feel like you don’t want to be there, start looking elsewhere. Just don’t quit until you have something lined up.

I feel so sorry for the girls that are victims of the ai generated images at the bacchus marsh school. How horrific. I suspect fake sexual images are gonna be the new normal of harassment and abuse in the ai era. Schools and the law need to catch up fast.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Another lean fortnight. Going to have to be creative with the food I have.
Thank gos for frozen mince though. Means I can have pasta for a week at least.
Also no zombie movies before going to bed tonight.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Absolutely hate the dark and the cold just sucks the energy right out of you. Can’t help but wonder how folks in the far north in the artic deal with it where some days the sun barely rises.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Uh oh. I have a feeling the Bad Sads are coming up, the kind where everything looks miserable and the smallest thing not going the way I want makes me feel hopeless and sad and like a failure. It’s 12 days before my period should be starting so I don’t think it’s that… It’s this damn weather, I swear. I bought yet more fennel yesterday. I’m going to roast a whole bulb and scarf it down ;_;
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It’s party time today. I’ll bring chocolate crackles. What are you bringing?
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
The day I don’t spill a bit of my coffee on the floor is the day I have died.

Without fail, everytime I’ve got an appointment for a haircut, it’s cold and raining. Sorry everyone 🪮
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 months ago
So much snot! Coughing up chunks of it. so over this!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Tried the PB&J, kinda slaps. Would consume again!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Was nice wandering around South Yarra after my haircut. I used to live around that area a while ago and I feel really nostalgic.
Everything is so alive compared to the outer suburbs. Might have to trade the house to myself for an apartment in the future.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m phenomenally sleepy today. Normally I’m not on my phone at work but I simply cannot summon any enthusiasm or concentration whatsoever. Holiday mode hit me too hard.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m trying to find things to enjoy and am getting so excited about trying new things in life, like new foods, going to a different uni next year, travelling, working full-time more or less permanently. But at the same time, nothing excites me? It’s strange.
I have a trial drums lesson organised, doing a fitness challenge, planning a social thing once a week, and going to start therapy in a couple of days. All this effort to work on myself just feels a bit futile. I know these things are going to be good for me, yet part of me is not convinced.
Maybe I just have to get through things and then they will become enjoyable. What a weird state to be in.
oztrin@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Finally starting to feel a bit better - still coughing up a lung, but my sinuses feel clearer. Some energy today, but I notice it runs out - got to be careful to not overdo it.
Aradina@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Sleep bad. Day bad. Can today be delayed?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Nope, still don’t want to get out of bed despite falling asleep on time.
Winters suuuuuck. I’m so glad I only need to get up early twice a week

WTF aussie.zone/post/10468468/9551347
Are we getting spambots on Lemmy now? I pasted that comment into Google Translate and it’s some ad for ghostwriting

Love it when the fix for a PC issue is “go to the BIOS”, when the issue is the PC won’t even load to the point that BIOS is an option. Partner’s 10 year old PC is basically dead (thinks it needs to load from a USB, when it doesn’t and never has), so mine is now The Family Computer.
Which is fine for now, I’m addicted to Slice’n’Dice on my phone anyway lol

Finished the day early. Too tired 😴 could stay and click buttons but I’d be so slow and make mistakes better to go home and rest
Catfish@aussie.zone 5 months ago

Has anyone here had experience bringing a bunch of Facebook pages under the one Business Account? I’m working with a business that’s trying to sort out all the pages for their sub-brands, but some just aren’t moving across. If I can get this sorted for them I might be able to pick up some extra work with them further down the line.
I’d ask somewhere else but I can’t find the right place on Lemmy to ask
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Pretty sure I haven’t fallen back to sleep since 1.30 🙃
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I know it’s cold, I know there are germs out there but I am stir crazy and need a walk. Will wear a coat and mask.

Cold grey morning, clouds like lead,
Rolling, rolling overhead.
The rain has washed me clean and dead,
Rolling, rolling overhead.Cold air seeps through my hair and head,
Warmth leaks out of my pillows and bed,
Cold grey morning, clouds like lead,
Rolling, rolling overhead.bacon@aussie.zone 5 months ago

It’s my birthday, and I’m going to the dentist. Boo. On the plus side, I’m taking today off so will go op shopping afterwards.
